'''Yan-C-Bin''' is one of the five iconic [[Archomental]]s of [[Dungeons & Dragons]], having been created by Lewis Pulsipher for the Fiend Folio alongside [[Imix]], [[Ogremoch]], [[Olhydra]], and [[Cryonax]].

==1st Edition==
"Appeared" in the Fiend Folio... inasmuch as he ''can''. That's right, he's [[invisible]], and shapeless, although his form takes up a ten foot diameter spheroid. His palace, in the Air plane, is "great" and "airy".

==2nd Edition==
In 2nd edition, Yan-C-Bin appeared in the Monstrous Compendium Appendix 3 for Planescape alongside not just his former brothers & sister, but also a cast of four new good archomentals: [[Ben-Hadar]], [[Sunnis]], [[Zaaman Rul]], and his new personal rival, [[Chan]].

==3rd Edition==
Dragon Magazine #347 gave us the most insight into Yan-C-Bin - and the rest of the Evil Archomentals - of any edition before it.

==4th Edition==
Yan-C-Bin was one of the two classic archomentals who didn't fare so well in 4th edition; he had to share a single article in [[Dungeon Magazine]] #199's [[Lords of Chaos]]. He did benefit in one way, gaining a humanoid form to use to interact with his followers instead of the traditional shapeless mass of air.

==5th Edition==
All of the Princes of Elemental Evil made their grand debut for the newest edition in the D&D 5th edition adventure "Princes of the Apocalypse", which revolves around the party kicking the asses of the ever-fractious Cult of Elemental Evil. Ironically, he maintained his humanoid avatar from 4e in this edition.
